Former Street Condition Goals
1995 - Council adopted a street satisfaction goal of75% to be completed by 2015
1996 - Council accelerated the street satisfaction goal of75% to be completed by 2010
2006 - Street condition goals revised and adopted byCity Council:• 87% satisfactory Citywide• Minimum 80% satisfactory in each Council
District• Goals were to be achieved by completion of 2006
Bond Program in conjunction with an enhanced O&Mprogram (projected in FY2019-20 )

Street Condition Summary
An estimated 27% of our streets are in unsatisfactory (D&E) condition
Given continuation of current spending, it will require an additional$90M/Yr in funding for paving and maintenance to halt degradation andimprove streets by 1%

Alley conditions have been rated since 1993
In 2009 , the City began rating one half of the alleys
each year using the new Pavement ManagementSystem and equipment, replacing the old method of “windshield” observations

Policy Considerations forStreets and Alleys
19
8/9/2019 Dallas Streets and Alleys Conditions
21/51
Policy & ImplementationFor Further Consideration
Adjust satisfaction rating/goal for streets and/or timeline tomeet 87% given reality of funding constraints
Establish a realistic satisfaction rating/goal for alleys
Assess feasibility of more pay-as-you-go funding in operatingbudgets
Examine ratio of C to D/E streets prioritized for repair
Determine appropriate size of bond programs and amountsdedicated to street and alley improvements and focus onprojects that improve street conditions ( 55% of the Street andThoroughfare Proposition in the 2012 Bond Program improved street conditions)
20
8/9/2019 Dallas Streets and Alleys Conditions
22/51
Policy & Implementation (Continued)For Further Consideration
Continue to assess potential abandonment or alternativerepair methods for some E-rated streets and alleys on a caseby case basis
Since alley nuisances and obstructions contribute todegradation, consider implementing a dedicated alley nuisanceabatement program
Where appropriate, consider some shifts in location of garbagecollection and/or examine alternative equipment/trucks forcollection in narrow alleys
Consider an 50% matching fund program for residentsinterested in making alley improvements

Funding Options (Continued)For Further Consideration
“Pay -As-You- Go” Funding :Collaborate for funding assistance from benefiting partnerssuch as DART and Dallas County
Establish a Sanitation residential collection street rental orfranchise fee (new, $3.9M/Yr @ 6%)
Increase Water Utilities street rental fee on retail salesfrom 5% to 6% ($5.1M/Yr)
Contingent upon funding available, increase General Fundoperating budget for:
Streets by 20%/YrAlleys by 30%/Yr

Other Funding Options Examinedin Review of All Potential Options
Enhanced bond or operational funding: 1 cent on tax rate =$9.1M/Yr, or $115M in additional capacity for 2017 bondprogram
Implementation of a street/alley maintenance/user fee(currently at maximum tax rate allowed by law)
Legislative changes to enhance transportation funding
Further use of storm water funding related to gutters andintegration of drainage into street system

Excellent
Pavements that have no distress(mostly new or newly rehabilitated surfaces)
GoodVery good ride quality -
Can benefit from preventive maintenance(slurry seal or similar)
Fair Acceptable ride quality, though road surfaces are becoming worn
– slurry, microsurfacing, partial reconstruction or similar willprevent rapid deterioration
Poor Marginally acceptable ride quality
– microsurfacing, chip sealing, or partial reconstruction, resurfacing orrehabilitation is needed to slow further deterioration
Very Poor Pavement has extensive distress
and requires partial or full reconstruction or restoration

Slurry Seal/MicroSurfacing for“B” and “C” rated streets
Micro Surfacing – A treatment for CONCRETE STREETS WITH ASPHALT SURFACE which places a ¼-inch layer ofcrushed stone mixed with asphalt emulsion. This seals and smooths the surface and conceals scars from previous repairs. It isused predominately for higher-traffic-volume streets with curb and gutter. It is more expensive than slurry seal, but cures morequickly. This work is outsourced to a specialized contractor – after Streets Services prepares the site (doing minor base repairand crack sealing, curb & gutter repair) .Cost: $19K per lane-mile. Life: 5-7 years.
Slurry Seal - This treatment for CONCRETE STREETS WITH ASPHALT SURFACE consists of a ¼-inch layer of sand andfine stone mixed with asphalt emulsion. This seals and smooths the surface and conceals scars from previous repairs. It is usedpredominately for residential roads with curb and gutter. The work is outsourced to a specialized contractor – after StreetServices performs preparation work (such as minor base repair and crack sealing).Cost: $13K per lane-mile. Life: 5-7 years.
Full-Depth Asphalt Repairfor “C” rated streets
Full-depth Asphalt Repair - A treatment for ASPHALT STREETS to repair the surface and base failures. Repairs aretypically larger than a pothole, but smaller than either Street Resurfacing or Street Rehabilitation projects. After the failed area iscut square and removed, a new base is placed and compacted and an asphalt surface is put in place.
Cost: $20.50 per square yard. Life: 5-7 years.37
8/9/2019 Dallas Streets and Alleys Conditions
39/51
Partial Reconstruction for“C” rated (and some “D” rated) streets
Partial Reconstruction - This is a method used on CONCRETE STREETS. It is removal and replacement of large, failed sections , including breakout and removal of old pavement, repair of any base failures, and placingnew concrete. To be a candidate for this repair, residential and thoroughfare streets must have less than 25% of failed area.Cost: $67.50 per square yard with curb-and-gutter repair. Life: 10-12 years.

8/9/2019 Dallas Streets and Alleys Conditions

StreetRehabilitation for
“D” rated streets
StreetRestoration for
“E” rated streets
Rehabilitation - A treatment for ASPHALT STREETS when a large portion of the surface and the base have deteriorated toan unsatisfactory level. It includes the full-depth repair of base failures, followed by a chip seal, and a new two-inch layer ofhot mix asphalt placed over the entire treated segment. Candidate streets are predominately residential asphalt surfacedstreets without curb and gutter. Cost: $160K per lane-mile. Life: 10-12 years.
Restoration - A treatment for ASPHALT STREETS when the entire surface and the base have deteriorated to anunsatisfactory level. It includes rebuilding the entire base by recycling the old base and surface materials into a new base,followed by a chip seal, and new two-inch layer of hot mix asphalt placed over the entire treated segment. Candidate streetsare predominately residential asphalt surfaced streets without curb and gutter. Cost: $180K per lane-mile. Life: 18-20 years.

Resurfacing of Pavement for “D” ratedstreets
Re-Surfacing – This treatment removes the entire asphalt surface, and pulverizes and recycles the old material withnew asphalt binder. The new asphalt surface is then placed over the entire surface, compacted, and smoothed to aproper finish. Curb and gutter repair, if needed, is accomplished with the re-surfacing efforts.Cost: $200K per lane-mile. Life: 15-20 years (with maintenance).

Full Reconstruction for “E” ratedstreets
Reconstruction - This process is the removal of an existing street with extensive failures and/or badlydeteriorated condition. In the process, the pavement is broken and removed (and often recycled), as isthe base. Drainage concerns are addressed with this process. The sub-base may be reconditioned asneeded, then a new base is placed and compacted. The new concrete surface pavement is thenplaced, as shown above. The construction work is outsourced under bond-issued funding.Cost: $1 M per lane-mile. Life: 20-50 years (with maintenance).

Street Treatments Managed by Dallas Water Utilities
Street and alley repairs by the Dallas Water Utilities are associated with pipeline replacement.For asphalt streets the City policy requires that an entire lane be reconstructed at the locationfor where the pipeline is replaced. From joint to joint for concrete streets. 42

Alley History
Construction of alleys in Dallas began in 1920
The standard alley pavement width has variedVarying widths pavement prior to 1964 – 120 miles8-foot pavement (1964 to 1980) - 705 miles9-foot pavement (1980 to 1990) - 45 miles10-foot pavement (1990 to present) - 345 miles
Alleys have been constructed within varyingwidths of right-of-way (ROW)Prior to 1964, there was no standard ROW width
Since 1964, the City has had a 15-foot ROW
Note: Only 24.7% of all alleys have 10-foot pavement in a 15 foot ROW43
